Aragorn's habit of speaking in quiet tones matches his ranger lifestyle. Rangers often need to stay unnoticed and avoid drawing attention. Speaking softly helps Aragorn communicate effectively without alarming others or drawing unwanted attention. When Aragorn first meets the hobbits in The Fellowship of the Ring, he talks calmly and quietly. This helps him gain their trust and shows he means no harm.
